Didn’t Feel Like It Today

Friday the thirteenth is living up to its name. My brother and I have had problems all day. I’m not blaming Friday the thirteenth. But it is a condescendence. And I don’t believe in condescendences. From the time I got up to the writing of this blog entry my brother and I have had one problem after another happen to us.

It started with the money we were supposed to get today not coming in for my brother’s VA benefits. They usually come in four or five days before they are scheduled to come in on Wednesday. That day should have been today, but it wasn’t. He tried to find out why, but he couldn’t.

Another problem we had today was because of my brother’s Chapter 13 bankruptcy. No, it’s not the car this time. It’s a company we got some furniture, appliances, etc. from. It looks like they are protesting the bankruptcy. They want two thousand dollars or they want their stuff back. We don’t have two thousand dollars. We have nothing right now.

My brother and I are down to only a few dollars. And we have very little at our place for food and drink. We have a way to go get this stuff now. But we don’t have any money to buy it. It’s worse for me than my brother. I’m almost out of anything to drink. But it’s worse than that.

The only thing my brother has for me to drink is No Sugar Dr. Pepper. I like Dr. Pepper and Cherry Dr. Pepper. But I don’t like No Sugar, Diet, or Sugar-Free drinks. The only other thing he may have is bottled water. And I don’t like bottled water either. My thoughts are why buy bottled water when you can get it for free?

I have no choice but to drink the No Sugar Dr. Pepper today and maybe tomorrow. It all depends on if my brother’s money comes in tomorrow. If it doesn’t, it will be Monday before he gets it. I think it will be Monday before he gets it. After all, tomorrow is Saturday.

It’s a Direct Deposit. So, it could still come in tomorrow. But I don’t think it will. And it’s not because it’s a Saturday. I think it will be Monday if we are lucky. After all, the bank we get this Direct Deposit is part of the Chapter 13 bankruptcy. My brother disagrees with me. But I think the money is there. It’s because of the bankruptcy.

The bank won’t put it in until they have to do it. They don’t care if we have to go without any food or drink until next Wednesday. It may not be that bad for us. But it still will be bad. We may have to sell some of our stuff just to get by until next Wednesday.

It's no wonder I didn’t feel like doing any writing today on my Part One paragraph Scene Outline for my Water Wars scriptwriting project. Hopefully, I will feel up to working on it tomorrow. I’m going to try to work on this Outline tomorrow. But it will depend on how I’m feeling. After all, it could be another day like today.
